"Compellingly put together, "Pray the Devil Back to Hell" tells the story of how, from these humble beginnings, this large group of women went from strength to strength and gradually changed the direction of the country, even going so far as to attend peace talks in Ghana and to force the opposing parties to stay at the table."

"Pray the Devil Back to Hell" is the story of how an entire country went from madness to sanity, prodded by women who would not be denied. It's a marvelous documentary detailing how the everyday became extraordinary, "how ordinary women," in the words of one of them, "did the unimaginable."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/reviews/la-et-pray14-2008nov14,0,3214898.story?track=ntothtml"><DIV>
The nation in question is Liberia, a country that by the year 2002 had seen some 200,000 people die in ongoing  fighting centering on dictatorial President Charles Taylor and the various rebels who wanted to replace him.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/reviews/la-et-pray14-2008nov14,0,3214898.story?track=ntothtml"><DIV>
Leymah Gbowee, for one, had had enough. An articulate, thoughtful social worker, she simply says, "I had a dream. I would get the women of my church together and pray for peace."</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/reviews/la-et-pray14-2008nov14,0,3214898.story?track=ntothtml"><DIV>
Not only was their message simple, so were, at first, their tactics. The women put on plain  clothes, topped by a white T-shirt with a logo, and sat daily in Monrovia's central market in hopes of gaining an audience with President Taylor and persuading him to attend peace talks.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4D718E2B-9F97-4E2D-A83A-278CC42623A2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
